If you’re a parent, you know that the birth of your first

child is an incredible experience. For Steve and Camre, it didn’t happen at all

the way they expected it to.

Steve got the call at work that Camre was at the hospital

and had already delivered the baby. He dropped everything and drove there

frantically, and he was confused because the baby wasn’t due for another 7

weeks.

He ran into the hospital, and the first thing he saw was his

newborn son, Gavin. He quickly scrubbed up and held him for the first time.

What Steve didn’t know was that, at that moment, Camre was

being put into a medically induced coma in order to save her life. He also

didn’t know that when she would come out of that coma, she would have no memory

of anything. She would not recognize Steve, and she wouldn’t even know she had

just had their baby.

This is a Flashback episode. Steve originally told this

story on the podcast about 5 years ago, so at the end of today’s episode we’ll

get to hear from modern-day Steve, and he’ll tell us what’s happened since

then.
